After months of tapering down and weaning off I am now three weeks free BUT! despite my cautious withdrawal I am still suffering with "brain zaps". Various forums tell me I went too quickly but considering the GPs and Psychiatrist recommend three week every other day taper I have gone over and above! But these professionals do not and will not understand the whole withdrawal problem. I need to talk to my GP but I am sure she will just suggest going back on or taking another antidepressant. The whole thing is very depressing in itself.
